Anderson did actually go back and retrieve his missing tooth from the court, but only after his head cleared.

"I thought I was going to pass out when it first happened," Anderson said Wednesday before the Bulls-Raptors game.

But any evidence of his up close-and-personal meeting with Lopez's elbow was gone by the time Anderson got to the ACC. He spent an hour in a dentist's chair Wednesday morning and was looking no worse for wear hours later.
